COURS - Pieds, placement au sol
COURS - Pieds, placement au sol
En mars, on fait des pieds et des mains! Ces fameuses zones d'interface avec le monde sont faites pour s'y adapter, et prennent donc d'innombrables formes, qui les rendent notoirement difficiles à dessiner et à imaginer. Sur cette troisième séance, nous dessinerons les pieds à partir de la place qu'ils occupent au sol, ce qui nous aidera en même temps à les construire, et à donner à notre modèle davantage de poids et de réalité dans l'espace. On se retrouve à 19h30, mais qui veut peut arriver au local à partir de 19h pour grignoter, discuter! Il y aura du thé et du café pour qui veut, il faut retirer ses chaussures car c'est une salle de danse (donc les bottes à lacets attendront une autre soirée). Paiement en espèces (25€), sur place, et il y aura un chapeau pour qui veut donner un peu plus au modèle! Le matériel n'est pas fourni. Hâte de vous y voir! 🙂
Nan Goldin - Grand Palais (nocturne du vendredi)
Nan Goldin - Grand Palais (nocturne du vendredi)
Le groupe "Escapades artistiques" organise une exposition dont l'artiste s'inscrit dans l'histoire de l'art comme une figure majeure du 20e siècle : **Nan Goldin** "Nan Goldin (née en 1953, Washington D.C.) est reconnue comme une artiste majeure ayant révolutionné la photographie contemporaine et la culture visuelle de notre époque. De 1979 à nos jours, elle a réalisé de nombreux diaporamas à partir des milliers de photographies qu’elle a prises de son quotidien avec ses proches, de leur intimité et d’évènements familiaux. Elle élabore les récits à partir de sa propre expérience et aborde autant de thèmes que l’enfance, le genre, la violence ou la dépendance aux drogues. Crues et intimes, les histoires qu’elle donne à voir prennent la dimension de contes universels sur l’amour et la perte... Après Stockholm, Amsterdam, Berlin et Milan, l’exposition investit aujourd’hui le Grand Palais et la chapelle Saint-Louis de la Salpêtrière, à Paris, pour offrir une immersion unique dans l’univers intime, bouleversant et profondément humain de Nan Goldin..." Le Grand Palais Pour acheter votre billet (créneau 20h) : https://www.grandpalais.fr/fr/billetterie/creneaux/p82/1 Puis, pour ceux qui le souhaitent nous irons dans une brasserie dans les alentours, pour boire, manger, discuter, échanger autour de l'exposition ou d'autres sujets que nous aimerions évoquer... Enfin, assurez-vous, je vous prie de vos intentions de participation (il y a encore beaucoup trop de désistements et de défections sans forcément un mot ou une explication. Merci à tous votre vigilance et merci à tous ceux qui nous préviennent en cas d'empêchement). Bien à vous tous, belles escapades artistiques et à bientôt ! Jélila PS : j'enverrai tous les détails la veille pour se retrouver et se rassembler, mais vraisemblablement à l'intérieur, à côté de l'accueil (munis de votre billet).

Atelier d'écriture "La micro-fiction"
\*\* ESSAI GRATUIT SUR DEMANDE : anes.sensibles@free.fr \*\* Et si toute une vie tenait en une phrase ? « For sale: baby shoes, never worn. » Ernest Hemingway (*À vendre : chaussures bébé, jamais portées.*) Six mots. Une histoire entière. Un chagrin, un mystère... Ernest Hemingway aurait écrit, selon la légende, la plus courte nouvelle du monde. Vous pouvez en faire autant. La micro-fiction, c'est l'art de raconter une histoire en quelques phrases. Une contrainte qui, loin de brider, libère la créativité et révèle la puissance de chaque mot. Venez vous essayer à cette micro-écriture, avec des exercices ludiques et progressifs.

Atelier d'écriture n°3
Atelier d'écriture n°3
Bonjour, Bienvenue pour ce troisième atelier d'écriture ! Pendant 2h, je vous proposerai plusieurs consignes d’écriture : un premier exercice d’échauffement pour délier nos plumes, une contrainte ludique pour faire surgir le sens là où on ne l’attend pas forcément et des temps d’écriture plus longs pour que vous plongiez dans vos imaginaires. Chaque moment d’écriture sera suivi d’un temps de lecture (pas obligatoire mais encouragé !). Si vous le souhaitez, vous pourrez amener un texte court que vous avez déjà écrit. Je proposerai à la fin de notre atelier un temps où chacun pourra lire un de ses textes, un peu comme une scène ouverte. Les occasions de lire ou de faire lire ses écrits ne sont pas toujours légion, mais la fin de notre atelier en sera une :) Nous nous retrouverons dans la salle d’une petite école de musique, au 28 rue Eugène Sue, 75018. C'est la boutique qui donne sur la rue, où il y a écrit "Graines de Sons". Quand vous arrivez, vous pouvez toquer à la porte. Le tarif est de 5 €, à payer en espèces à votre arrivée. Il y aura du café, du thé et de l'eau sur place. (Il vous sera demandé de retirer vos chaussures quand vous arriverez.) Au plaisir de vous rencontrer et de partager avec vous ce temps d'écriture !

The market boasts a Starbucks, a full service bar and various affordable food options. Parking is plentiful, free Wifi is provided as well as outlets for charging your devices, though they are somewhat limited, so plan accordingly. Show up as early as you like, or stay late. This group tends to socialize some, both before and after the alloted time, but this is not mandatory to you. Feel free to come and go as you please and late arrivals are welcome. The cafe may be noisy on occasion so headphones/ earbuds are reccommended as you see fit. Please try to RSVP if possible so that we may grab enough seats for all—the venue can be busy at times. Feel free to message me privately wth any questions and/ or concerns you may have. Happy writing!
Let's try a Friday Night Fish Fry!
Let's try a Friday Night Fish Fry!
We thought of one of the interesting things that can be enjoyed at this time of the year. We will be meeting at Immaculate Conception Catholic Church for a "Fish Fry" in Marian Hall on Friday, March 27th at 5:00 PM. It might be fun for you to experience what has become a tradition on the Fridays before Easter. They will have fried fish or baked fish, French fries and Cole slaw, as well as beverages, all for $16.00 for adults. They will have other beverages and desserts available for sale, as well. We have never tried this, and sometimes there are quite a few people at these events so we hope that we will be able to find each other easily. I'll try to have signs outside Marian Hall that Identify our group. We hope to have you join us!
